As mass production is the core principle of industrial economy, mass destruction becomes the core principle of this age. Warfare, as the result of violence pushed to its utmost abounds, has been posing a great threat to all the nations for a long history.
First, although most of tax money goes into the national defense budget, an ounce of prevention is worth of a pound of cure. After the first-ever atom bomb dropped on the Japanese city on August 6,1945, more than 140,000 people were killed in the atomic blast and tens of thousands of others died from the after effects of radiation. Since then, the technique of battle systems has already gone through several generations.
On the other hand, despite the generally peaceful world, local wars and racial segregations never been disconnected. At the same time, business and governments constantly jockey for advantage over each other, sometimes relying on less-than-legal measures including warfare.
Furthermore, the computer terrorist can inflict damage on millions of people with a single keystroke, sowing fear, suspicion, and doubt. If the terrorisms in "9.11"used the atom bomb instead of aircraft, New York would had been destroyed to empty land. That is the reason why American never gave up his research in military might.
Of course, arguments will be raised against my standpoint. Some people criticize it on the grounds that these problems can be resolved through diplomacy and dialogue. However, in my opinion, the unavoidable Information Warfare will be waged because it can be. History clearly shows that any new technology, regardless of its original intentions, soon finds its way into the warriors. In conclusion, we, no matter individuals or governments, must prepare for the future we are creating.
In a world today of immense technology, increasing population and flourishing economic , investigations have shown that the global economy was outgrowing the earth’s ecosystems. The whole industrial process which makes many of the goods and machines we need and use in daily lives, is bound to create a number of waste products which upset the environmental balance.
As mass production is the core principle of industrial economy, mass consumption and mass abandonment become the core principle in industrial age. Many of these waste products can be prevented or disposed of sensibly, but clearly while more and more new goods are produced and made more complex, there will be new wastes to be disposed of. The rise of wastes has led to an unparalleled debate between environmental protection and economic development.
However, they often ignore that the real victim of pollutions is not the citizen, because the rubbishes usually be gathered together and moved to an area far from the cities. As a result, in these areas the usable fields will be destructed, the air will be polluted, wild life, including both plants and animals will be put at risk, moreover, many inhabitants will be weaken on account of the waste despoil with poisonous materials from industrial companies.
Whatever its underlying effects, there is no doubt that much of the pollution could be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments would make more effort.
Globally, we can replace the automobile-based, fossil-fuel-centered, throwaway structure with a renewable-energy-based economy that reuses and recycles materials and has a stable population. Individuals, on the other hand, can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying,excess consumption and careless disposal of the products are use in our daily lives.
